0:00.0	Last week, I talked to Rand Paul about Yemen and heard from a tool guwanda on health care.
0:05.2	We catch up on Sarah's Week in DC and find the nuance in Betsy DeVos's Title IX announcement
0:10.5	in today's episode. This is Sarah from the Left and Beth from the Right.
0:15.2	You're listening to Pantsy Politics. No shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.
0:30.0	Welcome to another episode, everyone. Today we are going to talk about Betsy DeVos's announcement
0:51.6	on Title IX. Some of the social media controversies of the week and continue to extend our thoughts to
0:58.4	those impacted by the hurricanes that are just relentless right now in our country. Then we'll
1:05.2	catch up with Sarah on her whirlwind week in Washington DC, spanning topics like Yemen and

1:51.9	dating a Republican, whatever the case may be. We would love to hear from you guys and how you
1:55.7	find nuance within your own relationships. So you can just record a voice memo on your phone
2:01.0	and email it to us. That's probably the easiest way and we'll include some of your voices on an
2:05.1	upcoming episode. All right, so let's dive right into Title IX and I thought we could do maybe a
2:12.4	mini primer on Title IX as it relates to campus violence because I think most of us are
